The LSU Lady Tigers track and field team represents Louisiana State University in NCAA Division I women's indoor and outdoor track and field.[2]

History

The Lady Tiger program began in 1980. The LSU Lady Tigers track and field program is the premier women's track and field program in the NCAA, winning more NCAA championships than any other school in history. The Lady Tigers have won a total of 25 NCAA championships (11 indoor, 14 outdoor). The closest school is Texas with 10 total championships. The Lady Tigers won their first NCAA championship in 1987 under head coach Sam Seemes. The following year Pat Henry took over the program and led the team to an unprecedented 11 straight NCAA outdoor championships, the most consecutive NCAA titles by a women's team in any NCAA sport. In 2004, Dennis Shaver became the LSU Lady Tigers head coach. He coached the team to the 2008 NCAA outdoor championship.

Kimberlyn Duncan became the first from LSU to win The Bowerman[3], an award that honors collegiate track & field's most outstanding athlete of the year. In 2012, she became the first woman in NCAA Division I history to win back-to-back indoor and outdoor national titles in the 200 meters.
